This was our 4th stay at the Commonwealth in the past year and we find no reason to try anywhere else. A new hotel, it sits right on Kenmore Square and is one block from Fenway Park and at the east end of the Boston University campus. There is a subway station below the hotel/square and we walk to all... more

My husband and I spent a wonderful weekend there. The room and bathroom were spacious and very well appointed. The bed was very comfortable and the linens lovely. There was quite a bit of noise going on at the street level the night we arrived but we didn't hear any of it in the room. The staff was friendly and... more

Let me start by saying, I spend about 100 nights a year at hotels around the country and the world. And I have to say with all honesty, Hotel Commonwealth is one of the best I've stayed at in several years. It is almost perfect. We'll get the thing that makes it a slight notch less than perfect out of... more

Travel a good amount for business, including to Boston and Cambridge. The Commonwealth is now my new top choice. The location is great. Kenmore Square is very active, and an easy walk to Fenway, Longwood Medical campus, etc. The extras are also great. Take advantage of their complimentary car service within 3 miles of the hotel. That does not get... more

My husband and I always stay at the Hotel Commonwealth when we visit Boston. The hotel is conveniently located to Fenway Park and is an excellent choice if you are attending a baseball game. The hotel and guest rooms are beautifully decorated! The hotel is very clean and the restaurants located in the hotel are both excellent! Great place for... more

I am a very critical Hotel guest, after 30 years of business and personal travel. The Commonwealth is one of the best Hotels I have stayed in over the years. We had a room overlooking Fenway Park and it was very spacious. In the six nights we stayed, we never heard a sound from other rooms or guests. We did... more

We were working on a film in Boston and had the pleasure to stay at the Commonwealth for an extended stay. This 1st class hotel really out did itself day after day. It's location to Fenway Park is awesome. The restaurants attached are top notch. The service is spot on. If you are going to Boston you must stay here!... more

The Hotel Commonwealth was simply wonderful! I just stayed there with several family members and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating - the doorman even greeted us by name each evening. Turndown service was exceptional (the cookies...yum!) and the location was perfect (for those who are interested in the Fenway/university area). There is a T stop right downstairs and... more

I travel quite a lot on business and I have to say that this was one of the most comfortable hotels I've stayed in. In fact, when I tried to think of what I would change about it to make it perfect, there wasn't much I could come up with! The bed was wonderful, lots of nice, thick towels, TWO... more
